I've started at a home health company... I'm a RN. This is in Michigan. Multiple ways that we can be paid... by the visit, by hourly plus mileage, or salary plus mileage. Salary is really only for those that can maintain a 26-30 visit caseload each w...

so you're paid from the beginning of your day until the end? It just makes me wonder if it's dubious for them to pay only during the time you're doing stuff in the patient's home, but not while driving around.

A facility Doctor told my Unit Manager I needed an IV of Xanax while I worked.

Does anyone know which schools have a slow paced online rn to bsn? I have a baby to watch over and don't care if it takes several years, I just don't like the idea of having 5 week classes, etc....

I'm only 10 months into my nursing career... most job ads in my area of Michigan want 1-2 years experience in acute care before they'll hire for home health, etc.

Well, I'm a new RN, obviously we all know obesity is bad. I'm 30, male, 5' 10 1/2", high 260, low 270s in weight, I seem to be fairly large framed but know I've got excessive fat around the belly. I've been noticing that my BP has been going up in th...

I'm looking at Michigan's Licensing and Regulatory website trying to see what people lose their licenses for, etc. and one of them that comes up often is "lack of good moral character". Sometimes its listed with drug diversion, sometimes not.... is i...

Sorry about the your and you're. I was tired :)

My school didn't require a competitive GPA beyond the 2.5... everyone waitlisted and got in eventually.

Find a community college with a waitlist system... they usually take everyone above like say a 2.5 GPA.

I live and work in the Central / Mid-Michigan area (Saginaw, Bay City, Midland). Nurses are definitely needed (most places want experience, but Covenant and St. Mary's will take new nurses - you have to prove yourself though, and of course the skille...

Just hired as a brand new RN at a Rehab facility (with 2 months hospital experience) in Central Michigan at $32.00 / hr. Hospital I just left was in $26 range to start. Cost of living is fairly good, Saginaw and Bay City near by are basically run-dow...

I was pushed into resignation this Tuesday at my first hospital job as a Med-Surg nurse (still on orientation)... applied for positions on Wednesday, had an interview on Thursday and got a job at a Rehab facility.... for a lot more pay too :)

Well, I just graduated as an ADN in Michigan and am looking for an RN to BSN program with a future possibility of an MSN in Nursing Administration... but I'm leery of the online for profit schools.... a lot of the non profit public universities still...

You probably passed... remember, when you're above that "line" on their grading scale, you can get some questions wrong and still pass, you just have to stay above the line as it averages itself. as you were bouncing between sata and multiple choice,...

For what it's worth, the State of Michigan has this guide of allowed schools for the Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (Our form of the BON): https://www.ncsbn.org/NCLEX_Educational_Program_Codes.pdf LARA - Nursing Education Programs I've been looking...

Would you be willing to tell us the state? I just started as a Graduate Nurse / RN at a Hospital in Michigan at over $26 an hour... Nurse Practitioners at the same hospital make over $48, probably around $52 now....

A big fine and termination at minimum...

Hello, I finished nursing school, and was offered a position at a major hospital in my area. I have to go and complete a physical on Tuesday. The paperwork obviously has a lot of questions, and I checked the boxes for back pain and headaches, but wro...

Ladies and Gentleman, I think this is a sticky topic... as a future nurse with only few weeks time left in my schooling, I think people need to be cognizant of the fact that some people have issues due to their religious background. If I were a NP, P...

Umm, no.... I don't think that would fly in Michigan....

Perhaps this website could be of help, www.gotquestions.org

Your in the Long Island NY area? That sounds like it might be a tough place - have you tried nursing homes?

Well, with what's happening to ITT and U of Phoenix, I would be very careful... your school isn't regionally accredited. I would be leery of any schools like this. You may very well not be able to transfer to an RN program after you're done. One thin...

Without reading most of the topic, I live in Michigan, the only state that I know of to have a law on the books that people cannot be discriminated against by their employers, based on their weight. I myself, as a nursing student am slightly morbidly...
